Football Insider have claimed that Tottenham Hotspur will not entertain any offers for the injured 26-year-old Brazilian forward in January.
Richarlison recently underwent surgery to fix an existing problem, as the club officially confirmed and is set to be on the sidelines for a significant period.
The 26-year-old former Evertonian has scored just two goals and provided three assists in 11 appearances across all competitions this season for the club. (Transfermarkt)
A week ago, The Telegraph reported that Saudi club Al-Ittihad did approach Tottenham in the summer for Richarlison but the North London club did not entertain any offers. The report did add that they are likely to come knocking again in January to see if the club changes their stance.
Journalist Alex Crook also told talkSPORT (14/11 8:15 am) that Richarlison is more likely to leave Tottenham next summer to start somewhere fresh and a move in January might not be on the cards.

Richarlison is a ‘top target’ for Saudi clubs
Football Insider have claimed that the 26-year-old Brazilian has emerged as a ‘top target’ for Saudi clubs despite his poor form for Tottenham over the last couple of seasons. There is a feeling that the move “hasn’t worked out for all parties”.
Despite this, Ange Postecoglou’s side have made the decision that the Brazilian will not be sold in January.
However, they might be open to considering huge-money offers from Saudi Arabia next summer, as they look to recoup as much as they can to compensate for their reported £60 million investment in him.
Spurs Web Opinion
There are a lot of reasons why Tottenham cannot afford to sell Richarlison in January. He is injured and not many clubs want to take punt on players who are still recovering.
When it comes to the Saudi clubs though, they did set a precedent in the summer by signing an injured Philippe Coutinho from Aston Villa.
We also think that Richarlison despite his poor form offers cover for Tottenham as a number nine and a left-winger. So, selling him mid-season might leave us short unless we make new signings, which is unlikely. Thus, it makes sense that the Brazilian will be a Spurs player, at least until the summer.
